All you need to do is visit your Land office with the wife and it can be in about a hour. It is written directly on the land title deed so it can't be more official than that. Much better than some random lease.

Not as easy as that at all. Completely depends on the land office. Many do not allow registered leases or usufructs. Mine doesnt. They can ask for proof of funds to buy that land. To and from accounts....

If you are hoping to impress me with the fact you can afford first class, it's a fail.

I've known quite a few wealthy people. Some are level-headed about it, others not.

It doesn't bother me the fact that you can only travel in cattle class like a student. Up to you. 

Once you try first class you will never go back.

Very happy to be back here, I left Melbourne when it was 13 C, not counting windchill.

 

Hoping to survive a plague carrier seated next to me, who coughed continuously from Melbourne to Singapore. The Singapore - Bangkok leg had a howling infant a few seats away. The joys of air travel.

I dont have that problem on 'first class carriages' Singapore airline. I get my own little room. You should try it one day. 

OP you sound like a nut job. None of yr business what your neighbours do. Get a life son

why dont they have security deposit boxes at all the 12 retail banks in thailand. A lot safer.

Agree . It would not be my first choice to reside as it is probably the hottest part of Thailand . Power cuts are frequent . Local population little or no education . Etc etc but I have been here for over 12 years with my lady  who runs our restaurant . She takes good care of me and we have never quarrelled . Complete contrast to my UK ex of 30 odd years .

If our relationship failed I would be looking to go south of Thailand or even give the Philippines a visit .

They are really nice people in surin that is for sure. Drivers are very considerate. Best people in thailand I think. Opposite of the thai scum in phuket

the odds of success are lower here than back home.

I think its true if one is looking in Pattaya or Phuket central. 

But if one moves to a normal regional non tourist thai city and lives there. Then I disagree with your statement. 

Boring place to live. Nothing to do actually. Dry and lots of rice fields. Run down old infrastructure. Old traffic lights. Why do you live there?

I only just heard about this. RIP Joe. You helped me many times via PM's

How do you know they are bored and desperate? Most of them seem happy to play on their phones all day in an air-conditioned space, and if you go to these shops at closing time you will see their Thai boyfriends waiting to pick them up outside.

No, go to homepro and look at the bike parking section by the side of the building. Hundreds of mopeds.

I used to really like dogs until after living in SE Asia for a long time. I still like clean well behaved dogs but not these filthy flea bags.

You sound white and entitled. Go back to the nanny state where your mummy gave birth

Would a private hospital get you better treatment cuz you paid a higher price? Here in Thailand we all know surgeons/doctors move around private/government hospitals. Yer pays yer money you takes yer chance. With regards to the price differences  I'll take my chance. The difference in price is unbelievable.

I think you dont understand or maybe have never been to a thai govt hospital. Its all budget control. Low standards. crowded. Old rooms. Old equipment. Old surgery rooms. What about the quality of the actual mesh? 

You come out of the anesthetic. Any complications? In a private hospital you will have better care. ICU is available. Dr comes to check on you after surgery. Never happens in a govt hospital. 

It sounds like you cant afford a private hospital. Please let us know your experiences in the govt hospital. Report again 6 months down the line.

I just booked an operation date to fix my hernia at a government hospital. One night stay inclusive, open surgery 13,000 Baht. My wife phoned Bangkok Hospital. Open surgery 180,000 Baht. Laparoscopic procedure. 350,000 Baht.

 

You pays yer money, you takes your chance. 

If you are in good health ie no heart issues and no other problems with your body then I would go for it at a govt hospital. If you have ANY risks due to health issues pay the 180k like I did. I have heart disease and had to be monitored after I came out of sedation.

And what happens when you have a dispute with your tenant and he visits the Revenue Department with his girlfriend and shows all the transfers he has made in to the account of the landlord who just happens to be your wife. I guess your accountant would say mai pen rai!

I bet the revenue dept would do nothing. 

Actually I didnt mention something. If either the tenant or the landlord go to the rev dept with the lease agreement and buy legal stamps from them and stick them on the actual contract then you know 100% you have to pay taxes. This is the only circumstance by which any thai pays taxes on rent.

here is what i would do if i was kept waiting for healing 
i hope the biopsy was done with an ultrasound guided needle through the perineum
rather than the old rectal route which increases infection chances

anyway if your not allergic to fluroquines a 6 week course of ciproflaxin  500mg twice a day
diosmin and hesperin 500mg twice a day for the same period at least 
you can also add other supplements
such as berberine 
bitter gourd
Vit K2

As males we should look at changing our diets
stopping the BPH
limiting the DHT
Pumkin seeds or Oil supplements 
Broccolli Supplements
Saw Palmetto

If no cancer Lycopene 

In OPs case stay away from lycopene foods thats Water Melon Tomatoes 

I am going to include a few links but in General Cipro has been getting added to Chemo Courses

everything here is OTC except the cipro but if your in thailand no problem
just know your history if you have taken cipro before no prolem 6 weeks is lengthy but gold standard for prostrate infection, risk of tendons bursting due to collagen depletion so take it easy, dont run etc ease the load on your tendons even 4 weeks after course BLACK  BOX WARNING USA

Does berberine raise PSA levels?
demonstrated that high doses of Berberine (up to 100 µM) can inhibit viability of prostate cancer cells and KLK3 induction after 6 h (7). Moreover, they demonstrated induction of apoptosis and decline in PSA as well as AR protein content.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4278877/#:~:text=Berberine reduced cell viability%2C effectively,(Figure 1B).

My 2 cents worth is that if you dont want to get prostate cancer then you must ejaculate more than 21 times a month. Its on google dr. 

More scummie russians living here than ever.

I've been renting for many years and owners never mentioned paying taxes. Not even declare!

What would happen if revenue dept. will find out that I paid almost a million and RD got "banana"?

Just curious

just keep changing the bank account to another bank every 6months or a year. You can have 12 different bank accounts here ie yellow bank, pink bank, ktb, scb etc. Change the bank so that theres not more than 1 mill per yr deposits.

This topic is of interest to me as well since my wife is in a similar situation to the OP. We don't live in Thailand and my wife has never paid tax in Thailand even when she was living there many years ago. However, she now receives rental income for her townhouse that is available to rent through Airbnb. I asked her about taxes and she said she has a friend that works in the government (revenue department?) that can explain what she needs to do. Airbnb collects VAT but I'm sure she will need to start paying personal income tax on top of the VAT.

 

Perhaps she should establish a Thai company so she can deduct expenses to reduce her tax liability.

haha. stop thinking like a westerner. Its thailand

You do not have to pay taxes on rent here. Do you think rich Thai people who own multiple properties do that. This is not a western country. Rev dept here is incompetent. 

My accountant says as long as in a 12 month period.... theres not more than 200 transaction and/or greater than 1 million deposit to a bank account then dont have to pay tax. If you get close to this criteria just go open an account at a different bank and start again. Nuff said.
